THE THIRD LAW BOOK BY CEO TAMRA RYAN According to Newton’s third law of motion, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The Third Law shows us that even as women work to change their lives there are forces pushing back on that change, societal obstacles that must be overcome and internal demons that must be squelched. It explores what is required for chronically unemployed and impoverished women to create new lives for themselves. Most of all, the book argues for a more compassionate view of recovering addicts, convicted felons, and victims of domestic abuse. #BOOK01 $14.95 26 3201 Curtis Street I Denver, CO 80205 I 1.888.292.3001 I womensbeanproject.com Catalog Design :: Oblique Design, Boulder CO :: obliquedesign.com Product Photography :: Andy Johns, Denver CO :: theandyjohns.com 27 2.1919 PHONE: 303.29 roject.com .womensbeanp w w w : TE SI EB W ject.com omensbeanpro w @ fo am – 4:30pm in : IL A EM Open M-F 8:30 5. 20 80 CO r, Denve 3201 Curtis St., RETAIL STORE: almart.com tock.com and W rs ve O , om .c on , Amaz ing sBeanProject.com tionwide, includ ONLINE: Women na rs ile ta re 00 and over 10 ’s Bean Project s and Safeway RETAIL: Women as King Sooper ch su s er oc gr Colorado . e g n a h C e t a e r Click.
